wrote:
I'm beginning glue-up of some bookshelves prior to finishing. I am
concerned that I will get wood glue on portions of the wood that
should show, and that they will therefore not take stain.

What precautions can I take against having this happen?

Stain/finish areas that won't be glued before gluing

What can I do
when it does happen? Obviously, I'll be ready with a rag to wipe off
any glue that does drip onto my surfaces, what else can be done? If I
don't notice a drip right away, is there anything to be done besides
sanding it off?

If it's dripping you are using too much glue. If you are worrying about
minor squeeze out at the joint - small droplets - let it dry and
cut/scrape off with a chisel.

Alternatively, you could scrape it off while wet...I sometimes use a
beveled piece of hardwood shaped like a chisel blade to do so; I then
use a damp paper towel over my scraper and scrape again; finally, a dry
paper towel over the scraper. But this is only it I was sloppy and got
*lots* of squeeze out; I prefer letting it dry and cutting/scraping it
off.
